Institutional Lightning
summary
Lightning now ships specific upgrades: splicing and cooperative channel creation that let channels add or remove on‑chain funds, and taproot assets reaching mainnet readiness for asset issuance. Major exchanges (Coinbase, Binance) run nodes; some integrations save exchanges >$200,000/year in on‑chain fees. Research targets multi‑sig support for institutional custody. Examples include $10M channels handling $500k/day and sub‑cent micropayments; wallets from Amboss and exchange partnerships in South America are already live.
